This week, I am joined by Tara Thompson. Tara is a trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher and a soon-to-be book author. Her upcoming book is titled The Quest: A Healing Journey from Trauma. In this episode, Tara gives us a deep dive into her life—from the corporate hustle to a string of failed relationships to a hectic social life. Tara delved into the world of mindfulness & meditation during lockdown, and it was then that she realized something terrible had happened to her in childhood. Tara discusses this on the podcast today.
This is ultimately a story of healing and redemption, and Tara exemplifies the hero's journey
Trigger warning: We discuss abuse and childhood trauma.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
